Mysticism, method and money in the MarxHegel dialectic
De Montfort University, UK
Abstract
Economic orthodoxy has but a minimal interest in methodology. Heterodoxy is suspicious of dialectics. As exemplified recently in a book by John Rosenthal, even Marxism likes to eschew the notion of any more than a residual Hegelian influence in Marx and Marxist discourse. Bouncing off Rosenthal's argument, this paper argues for the legitimacy of a pragmatic post-Hegelian method for critical political economy.
